After midfielder Romeo Lavia’s withdrawal from the match owing to a muscular injury was confirmed by Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca in his pre-match press conference, this development follows.
After hurting himself in Chelsea’s Round of 16 win against Benfica, the Belgian was ruled out of the quarterfinal match against Palmeiras.
The 21-year-old has not yet returned to full training with the group, according to Maresca, who addressed the media. Because he isn’t training with us, the Italian said, “Romeo is training already but is unfortunately not ready for tomorrow. In the semi-final matchup, Chelsea will face Fluminense, and the victor will advance to the final.
